Experimenting with Intelligent Retail Automation is something that’s been very exciting for us at Milaner. The big challenge has always been around how we can use data to inform our product design process. Through AI, we’re actually able to slice different types of shopping data to create amazing experiences for our shoppers.

Who is it for?

Intelligent Retail Automation empowers people across different functions. Catalog managers and product managers by boosting product discovery with better product metadata through automated catalog management. Merchandizers, on the other hand, can leverage the power of on-model generation of fashion imagery to decrease the time to shoot and process product images. Stylists can curate collections and provide personalized styling to shoppers at scale. Due to all of this, each shopper will get a bespoke, custom experience where they are capable of making choices on a shopper journey that is shaped entirely on the basis of their own unique preferences. This now gives retailers the ability to understand shopper intent in real-time, thus leading to increased engagement and conversion.
